* [GFS2] Remove remote lock dropping codeSteven Whitehouse2008-06-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are several reasons why this is undesirable: 1. It never happens during normal operation anyway 2. If it does happen it causes performance to be very, very poor 3. It isn't likely to solve the original problem (memory shortage on remote DLM node) it was supposed to solve 4. It uses a bunch of arbitrary constants which are unlikely to be correct for any particular situation and for which the tuning seems to be a black art. 5. In an N node cluster, only 1/N of the dropped locked will actually contribute to solving the problem on average. So all in all we are better off without it. This also makes merging the lock_dlm module into GFS2 a bit easier. Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com>
* [GFS2] Fix ordering bug in lock_dlmSteven Whitehouse2008-06-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This looks like a lot of change, but in fact its not. Mostly its things moving from one file to another. The change is just that instead of queuing lock completions and callbacks from the DLM we now pass them directly to GFS2. This gives us a net loss of two list heads per glock (a fair saving in memory) plus a reduction in the latency of delivering the messages to GFS2, plus we now have one thread fewer as well. There was a bug where callbacks and completions could be delivered in the wrong order due to this unnecessary queuing which is fixed by this patch.

* [GFS2] Invalidate cache at correct pointBenjamin Marzinski2008-03-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | GFS2 wasn't invalidating its cache before it called into the lock manager with a request that could potentially drop a lock. This was leaving a window where the lock could be actually be held by another node, but the file's page cache would still appear valid, causing coherency problems. This patch moves the cache invalidation to before the lock manager call when dropping a lock. It also adds the option to the lock_dlm lock manager to not use conversion mode deadlock avoidance, which, on a conversion from shared to exclusive, could internally drop the lock, and then reacquire in. GFS2 now asks lock_dlm to not do this. Instead, GFS2 manually drops the lock and reacquires it.

* [GFS2] check kthread_should_stop when waitingDavid Teigland2008-01-25
| | | | | | | | | Use wait_event_interruptible() in the lock_dlm thread instead of an open coded equivalent, and include a kthread_should_stop() check in the wait test so we don't miss a kthread_stop().

* [GFS2] GFS2: chmod hung - fix race in thread creationBob Peterson2007-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The problem boiled down to a race between the gdlm_init_threads() function initializing thread1 and its setting of blist = 1. Essentially, "if (current == ls->thread1)" was checked by the thread before the thread creator set ls->thread1. Since thread1 is the only thread who is allowed to work on the blocking queue, and since neither thread thought it was thread1, no one was working on the queue. So everything just sat. This patch reuses the ls->async_lock spin_lock to fix the race, and it fixes the problem. I've done more than 2000 iterations of the loop that was recreating the failure and it seems to work.

* [GFS2] Reduce size of struct gdlm_lockSteven Whitehouse2007-07-09
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch removes the completion (which is rather large) from struct gdlm_lock in favour of using the wait_on_bit() functions. We don't need to add any extra fields to the structure to do this, so we save 32 bytes (on x86_64) per structure. This adds up to quite a lot when we may potentially have millions of these lock structures, Signed-off-by: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@redhat.com> Acked-by: David Teigland <teigland@redhat.com>

* [GFS2] Remove one typedefSteven Whitehouse2006-09-07
| | | | | | | | | | | This removes one of the typedefs from the locking interface. It is replaced by a forward declaration of the gfs2 superblock. The other two are not so easy to solve since in their case, they can refer to one of two possible structures.

* [GFS2] Update copyright, tidy up incore.hSteven Whitehouse2006-09-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As per comments from Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@linux01.gwdg.de> this updates the copyright message to say "version" in full rather than "v.2". Also incore.h has been updated to remove forward structure declarations which are not required. The gfs2_quota_lvb structure has now had endianess annotations added to it. Also quota.c has been updated so that we now store the lvb data locally in endian independant format to avoid needing a structure in host endianess too. As a result the endianess conversions are done as required at various points and thus the conversion routines in lvb.[ch] are no longer required. I've moved the one remaining constant in lvb.h thats used into lm.h and removed the unused lvb.[ch]. I have not changed the HIF_ constants. That is left to a later patch which I hope will unify the gh_flags and gh_iflags fields of the struct gfs2_holder.
